MICHIGAN CREDIT UNION KEY DEVELOPMENTS Although U.S. economic growth continued to slow in the first quarter of 2017, consumers remain upbeat and engaged. Healthy labor markets are fueling personal income gains, boosting confidence, and translating into solid increases in retail sales and housing purchases. Equity markets reflect solid gains. Still, the Federal Reserve remains cautious and market interest rate increases have been (and likely will remain) modest. Against that backdrop, Michigan credit unions reported increasingly strong membership growth, solid loan growth, higher asset quality, and healthier earnings results in the first quarter of 2017. The state-wide credit union capital ratio remained near its record high. Michigan credit unions report a 1.0% increase in total memberships in the first quarter of 2017 slightly faster than the 0.7% increase seen in the fourth quarter of 2016. The annualized 4.0% first-quarter increase in memberships continues to greatly exceeded the state s 0.1% full-year 2016 population growth reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. Memberships in Michigan credit unions increased by 3.6% in the year ending March 2017, exactly matching fullyear 2016 growth. When compared to previous calendar-year results, these increases represent the strongest gains in thirty years. Michigan credit unions now report 5.1 million memberships a total which is equal to just under half (49%) of the state s population. Michigan credit union loan portfolios grew by 1.4% - a 5.6% annualized pace - in the first quarter of 2017. That s substantially slower than the 2.4% fourth-quarter 2016 result, but in line with the first quarter 2016 gain of 1.7%. The slowing was expected and reflects normal seasonal variation as consumers concentrate on paying down holiday debts. Year-over-year results were impressive, however, with overall loan growth of 11.1% - a result that nearly matched the 11.5% gain in calendar year 2016. Recall the 2016 tally was the strongest seen in the state since 1994 (when the state s credit unions reported a 15.9% jump in loan balances). Looking forward, expect solid loan portfolio growth even if short-term interest rates resume their modest march higher. Asset quality improved in the first quarter. Delinquency rates declined markedly (from 0.77% at year-end 2016 to 0.61% at the end of March 2017) and now sit at cyclical lows. The net chargeoff rate inched down from an annualized 0.52% in the fourth quarter of 2016 to 0.47% in the first quarter 2017 putting it just off the cyclical low of 0.42% in the second quarter of 2016. Strong loan growth in the coming months signals further near-term improvement in these metrics. Savings growth was especially strong in the first quarter reflected in an astounding 4.9% gain (a nearly 20% annualized increase). Tax refund deposits combined with the quarter ending on a payday helped to boost that number. The fact that savings growth outpaced loan growth by a wide margin meant that the aggregate Michigan credit union loan-to-savings ratio declined marginally from 74.3% to 71.8% in the three months ending March. Credit unions in the state reflect ample liquidity to deal with expected flows into money market mutual funds, which typically occur as market interest rates drift up. Loan growth continues to help boost earnings results in the state. Michigan credit unions reported annualized ROA (net income as a percentage of average assets) totaling 0.83% in the first quarter. That was well above the 0.66% result in the fourth quarter and marginally higher than the 0.80% posted in the first quarter of 2016. Michigan credit union earnings averaged 0.60% over the past decade. Strong asset growth caused the Michigan credit union capital ratio to decline marginally in the quarter. Still, the 11.3% reading is both slightly higher than the 10.7% national average credit union net worth ratio and well above the 7.0% threshold level at which regulators deem credit unions well capitalized.

Executive Summary Although U.S. economic growth continued to slow in the first quarter of 2017, consumers remain upbeat and engaged. Healthy labor markets are fueling personal income gains, boosting confidence, and translating into solid increases in retail sales and housing purchases. Equity markets reflect solid gains. Still, the Federal Reserve remains cautious and market interest rate increases have been (and likely will remain) modest. In total, the national economy added 498,000 jobs in the first quarter and Michigan also reflected growth with a 9,600 increase in employment during the period. The U.S. unemployment rate declined 0.2 percentage points in the three-month period and Michigan s unemployment rate dipped by 0.1 percentage point, finishing the quarter at 5.0%. The national unemployment rate decreased further in the second quarter, finishing May at 4.3% - its lowest level in sixteen years. Michigan also reflected further improvement at the start of the second quarter, with an unemployment rate that declined to 4.7% by the end of April. Not surprisingly, strong job gains continue to help consumers score big gains in take-home pay, fueling consumption expenditures. Disposable personal income increased at an inflation-adjusted, annualized rate of 1.7% in the first quarter and is up, in inflation-adjusted terms, by 1.9% in the year ending April per the Bureau of Economic Analysis. First quarter 2017 personal consumption expenditures were 4.9% higher compared to year-earlier levels and April activity was 4.3% higher compared to year-earlier levels. As expected, increasing concern over tight labor markets and the related risk of rising inflation pressures caused the Federal Reserve to increase the Federal Funds interest rate target at its mid-june FOMC meeting. Also, as was widely anticipated, the increase was modest a 0.25% move - bringing the target range from 1.00% to 1.25%. The Fed signaled both additional modest increases in its short-term interest rate target and the start of balance sheet normalization which is apt to put upward pressure on longer-term market rates. Michigan credit unions continued to report favorable results in the first quarter and, looking forward, the Fed s go-slow approach means credit unions can expect the economic environment to be broadly supportive of more member engagement and of generally favorable operating results. More credit unions are apt to feel the pinch of higher market interest rates, but CUNA economists see healthy membership growth, solid loan growth, higher asset quality, and generally favorable earnings results in the coming months. RECENT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) second estimate shows that the U.S. economy expanded at a 1.2% annualized pace in the first quarter of 2017 an increase from the previous advance estimate of 0.7%, but still weaker than the fourth quarter 2016 growth of 2.1%. The slowing relative to Q4 GDP was a bit stronger than expected due to lower-than-anticipated growth in consumer spending. Personal consumption expenditures (PCE), which account for 70% of GDP, increased by only 0.6% in the period a significant slump compared to the fourth quarter s 3.5% increase. Business investment spending rose by 4.8%, buoyed by a strong housing market: residential investment was up a solid 13.8% in the period. Exports also were a bright spot, increasing at a 5.8% annualized rate an about-face compared to the fourth-quarter s 4.5% decline. In contrast, government spending declined 1.1%, driven largely by a 3.9% decrease in defense U.S. GDP GROWTH CUNA ECONOMICS & STATISTICS 3 FIRST QUARTER 2017 Annualized Quarterly Change (%) 2Q16 3Q16 4Q16 1Q17 Real Gross Domestic Product 1.4 3.5 2.1 1.2 Personal Consumption 4.3 3.0 3.5 0.6 Durable Goods 9.8 11.6 11.4-1.4 Private Domestic Investment -7.9 3.0 9.4 4.8 Residential -7.7-4.1 9.6 13.8 Exports 1.8 10.0-4.5 5.8 Imports 0.2 2.2 9.0 3.8 Government Expenditures -1.7 0.8 0.2-1.1
spending. Personal income rose 1.5% and personal savings rate was 5.5% in the fourth quarter. Profits from current production (that is, corporate profits with adjustments for inventory valuation and capital consumption) declined 1.9% in the first quarter but this was still a 3.7% increase from the first quarter a year ago, according to the BEA. As expected, the second estimate of first quarter GDP based on more complete source data was revised higher (to 1.2% from 0.7%). However, the overall picture is still that of deceleration, driven largely by slower PCE growth and decline in government spending. As the unemployment rate continues to decline and wages further improve, expect PCE to stay upbeat this year. Consumer credit at credit unions should also stay healthy. Though the most recent monthly existing and new residential sales figures indicate somewhat of a slowdown in the housing market, healthy mortgage lending at credit unions should be expected this year and the next. As economic conditions improve, demand for loans should also rise. CUNA economists expect credit union loan growth to reach 10.0% in 2017 and 9.0% in 2018. They anticipate the U.S economy to grow by 2.3% and 2.5% in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Two additional Fed funds rate hikes are expected this year (after one in March) and another four rate hikes next year. Despite the first quarter slowing, year-over-year GDP growth came in at 2.0%, a bit faster than the 1.6% full-year 2016 increase and exactly equal to the recovery annual average growth rate. Looking forward, CUNA economists continue to expect the U.S. economy to grow modestly in 2017 and into 2018, fueled by healthy domestic demand in the consumer sector. As noted earlier, the big wildcard at the moment appears to be the decreasing probability that tax reform and/or infrastructure spending will help to boost results. Labor markets are strong and continue to improve in obvious ways. The economy added a solid total of 498,000 jobs in the first quarter of 2017, up from 443,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016. In all, 810,000 jobs were added in the first five months of the current year. The U.S. unemployment rate fell from 4.7% at the start of the year to 4.5% by the end of the first quarter and declined further to 4.3% by the end of May. The current U.S. unemployment rate is four-tenths of a point lower than the rate seen in May 2016. The U-6 unemployment rate, a broader measure of labor market health that includes underemployed workers, fell 0.2 percentage points to 8.4% in May. The gap between headline and U-6 unemployment shrunk from 4.2 to 3.9 percentage points. For comparison, the gap was 3.8 percentage points at the start of the recession in December 2007 and grew to 7.0 percentage points by mid-year 2009 as the economy began to expand again. Unemployed people per job opening remains steady at 1.2 at the end of April 2017, which is well below the 1.9 level reported in December 2007. This remains indicative of labor market slack disappearing and suggests YEAR-OVER-YEAR GDP GROWTH (%) 2.5-2.8 2009 2010 Source: BEA 1.6 2011 2.2 2012 1.7 2013 UNEMPLOYMENT RATES 2.4 2014 2.6 2015 4.8% 4.8 4.9 4.9 5.0 5.0 5.1 5.1 5.2 5.3 May 16 Aug 16 Feb 17 1.6 2016 5.0 4.7% 2.0% 1Q 17 4.7% 4.9 4.9 4.9 4.9 4.8 4.6 4.7 4.8 4.7 4.5 4.4 4.3% Source: BLS Nov 16 U.S. MI May 17 CUNA ECONOMICS & STATISTICS 4 FIRST QUARTER 2017
that the economy is very close to full employment (meaning roughly that everyone who wants to work can find a job, so that all potential labor resources are being utilized efficiently). In the end, job gains should continue at a modestly slower pace but the unemployment rate is unlikely to decline significantly over the remainder of our forecast horizon. The Michigan economy added 9,600 jobs in the first quarter, down from 28,100 added in the final quarter of 2016. Even so, the overall unemployment rate in Michigan declined marginally, from 5.1% at the start of the first quarter to 5.0% by the end of the first quarter and to 4.7% at the end of April (see chart). At the regional level, unemployment rates declined in each of Michigan s fourteen metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) over the past year. The biggest decline was seen in Muskegon, though both Jackson and Kalamazoo-Portage also reflected significant healing in the year. BLS MSA-level data reports lag those for the state as a whole. However, the most current readings in March 2017 reveal that the unemployment rate is now highest in Bay City (5.5%) and lowest in Ann Arbor (2.8%). The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Consumer Price Index (CPI) report shows that headline inflation (all items) and core inflation (which excludes food and energy) increased 2.2% and 1.9%, respectively over the year ending April, 2017. Over the 12-month period, the fuel oil price index increased the most at 22.1%, Apr 16 followed by the gasoline and utility (piped) gas service price indices, which rose 14.3% and 12.0%, respectively. The price index for medical care commodities also Source: BLS increased relatively quickly, with a 2.6% jump over the 12-month period. MICHIGAN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TRENDS BY MSA Of course, higher inflation impacts credit union member consumption and savings behavior. Savers seek returns that compensate for higher inflation, hence higher funding costs for credit unions. Moreover, significant price increases will soften discretionary household spending, negatively affecting borrowing. The fact that the core rate now trails the headline rate is important because it signals that the broader measure should ease in the coming months, which should (all else equal) reduce pressure on policy makers to increase short-term interest rate targets, keep funding costs lower than otherwise and help to buoy loan demand.

HOUSING The latest report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows existing home sales (which includes single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops) rose 1.6% in the year ending April and the joint report from the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development shows that new single-family home sales rose 0.5% over the 12-month period. The NAR reports a national median price of $244,800 on existing home sales, which was a 6.0% year-over-year gain. Median days on the market also decreased to 29 days (the shortest time since the NAR began tracking this figure in 2011), down from 34 days in February and 39 days a year ago. Existing homes inventory declined by 9.0% over the past year which signals higher prices on the horizon. Months supply (the ratio of total houses for sale to houses sold in the most recent month) declined to 4.2 from 4.6 a year ago. Overall, U.S. house prices on all transactions rose nearly 0.8% in the first quarter (3.0% annualized), according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) data.

NSA 5.5% - which is consistent with the existing home sales data reported by the NAR. Nationally, home prices are now 5.0% higher than pre-recession levels. Home builders are experiencing favorable market conditions. The National Association of Home Builders Housing Market Index is based on a survey that asks respondents to rate market conditions for the sale of new homes at the present time and in the next six months as well as the traffic of prospective buyers of new homes. The May 2017 index value of 70 is nearly equal to the March reading of 71 (the highest value seen since mid-2005) and both readings are well above the May 2016 reading of 58. Michigan home prices increased in every MSA except for Midland during the year ending March 2017. The Muskegon area saw the highest increase at 11.6%. Overall, compared to the end of 2007 (pre-recession levels), seven out of the sixteen MSAs have experienced home prices increases. Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids led the way (both with 17.0% gains) while the Bay City (-11.7%) and Saginaw (-9.6%) markets continue to lag significantly. FINANCIAL MARKETS & INTEREST RATES A robust consumer sector and improving international outlook put stock markets on a roll with investors shrugging off mounting domestic political concerns and discounting the impact of the apparent shrinking probability of fiscal stimulus. The broad, S&P 500 index gained 5.4% in the first quarter (a 21.6% annualized rate) and has continued to advance since that time. While the increases haven t been steady, the mid- June readings eclipsed previous record highs. Markets were up 9.6% year-to-date June 8th and up 14.8% on a year-over year basis. CUNA ECONOMICS & STATISTICS 6 FIRST QUARTER 2017
As expected, increasing concern over tight labor markets and the related risk of rising inflation pressures caused the Federal Reserve to increase the Federal Funds interest rate target at its mid-june FOMC meeting. Also, as was widely anticipated, the increase was modest a 0.25% move - bringing the target range from 1.00% to 1.25%. Policy makers shrugged off two data releases early in the final day of their meeting one showing unexpectedly weak retail sales in May and one showing slower inflation which had some wondering, in the final hours, if the move most expected would be delayed. Despite the weakness reflected in those releases however, the Fed sees a healthy consumer sector. While reflecting softer results in the month, May retail sales are up a bit more than 4% on a year-over-year basis. Housing markets also reflect healthy activity and equity markets reflect solid gains, which are bouncing around near all-time highs. Still, policy makers will continue to proceed with caution. Expectations of economic stimulus arising from tax cuts and from increased federal infrastructure spending were baked in to most economic forecasts earlier this year but not at the Fed. With each passing day, both tax reform and additional spending on roads, bridges, and the like seem less certain which means the way forward is shaping up exactly how policy-makers predicted. Fed decision makers will undoubtedly be following developments on this front very closely. As noted earlier, the Fed recently reported policy makers are likely to increase the Fed Funds interest rate target once more in 2017 and three times (in quarter point increments) during 2018. The Fed s balance sheet normalization program is slated to kick in during the second half of the year, which suggests the long end of the yield curve will rise modestly over our forecast horizon. Expectations of a near-parallel shift in the yield curve seem realistic in the months ahead. CREDIT UNION RESULTS Although U.S. economic growth continued to slow in the first quarter of 2017, consumers remain upbeat and engaged. Healthy labor markets are fueling personal income gains, boosting confidence, and translating into solid increases in retail sales and housing purchases. Equity markets reflect solid gains. Still, the Federal Reserve remains cautious and market interest rate increases have been (and likely will remain) modest. Against that backdrop, Michigan credit unions reported increasingly strong membership growth, solid loan growth, higher asset quality, and healthier earnings results in the first quarter of 2017. The state-wide credit union capital ratio remained near its record high. Growth Michigan credit unions report a 1.0% increase in total memberships in the first quarter of 2017 slightly faster than the 0.7% increase seen in the fourth quarter of 2016. The annualized 4.0% first-quarter increase in memberships continues to greatly exceed the state s 0.1% full-year 2016 population growth reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. Memberships in Michigan credit unions increased by 3.6% in the year ending March 2017, exactly matching full-year 2016 growth.

the strongest gains in thirty years. Michigan credit unions now report 5.1 million memberships a total which is equal to just under half (49%) of the state s population. In last quarter s Profile report, we noted growth in memberships is likely to remain strong in 2017, but also mentioned a slowing in the pace of increase was expected as the auto lending boom slows and indirect borrower memberships decline as larger numbers of maturing loans begin to pay off. While that may happen, it s interesting to note that CUNA s Monthly Credit Union Estimates report has us rethinking the notion of slowdown. The report, based on a representative sample of roughly 500 credit unions from across the United States, shows memberships up 1.8% through April an acceleration in growth compared to the 1.3% increase during the first four months of 2016. If these trends continue, 2017 will reflect faster not slower - membership growth. Small credit unions continue to reflect significant challenges attracting and retaining memberships. In Michigan, credit unions with less than $20 million in assets reflect a 2.7% decline in memberships in the year ending March 2017, while those with $20 to $50 million experienced a 0.4% slide. At the other end of the spectrum, the states ten credit unions with at least $1 billion in assets reflect membership growth of 5.3% during the 12-month period. Historically, the first quarter reflects very strong growth in savings balances (with most of the big gains in February and March as tax refund payments are deposited). In contrast, it reflects very weak loan growth (with the most weakness in January and February as holiday debts are paid down). First quarter call report data reflected these historic norms. Savings growth was especially strong because the quarter began mid-week and ended on a Friday (with big payroll deposit inflows). Looking forward, second and third quarter results will flip with relatively strong loan growth (punctuated by automaker new car model roll-outs, summer vacation spending, and substantial back-to-school outlays late in August). Michigan credit union loan portfolios grew by 1.4% - a 5.6% annualized pace - in the first quarter of 2017. That s substantially slower than the 2.4% fourth-quarter 2016 result, but in line with the first quarter 2016 gain of 1.7%. The slowing was expected and reflects the previously mentioned normal seasonal variation as consumers concentrate on paying down holiday debts. Year-over-year results were impressive, however, with overall loan growth of 11.1% - a result that nearly matched the 11.5% gain in calendar year 2016. Recall the 2016 tally was the strongest seen in the state since 1994 (when the state s credit unions reported a 15.9% jump in loan balances). Looking forward, expect solid loan portfolio growth even though short-term interest rates have resumed their modest march higher. Four of the seven broad loan portfolio segments tracked on credit union regulatory call reports reflect strong quarterly increases in Michigan.

ness loans had the strongest growth, at 3.6% in the quarter, followed by new automobile loans (2.9%) and used automobile loans (2.4%). Credit cards and other unsecured loans both declined 2.7% as consumers paid down holiday debt. Home equity and 2nd mortgage loans grew steadily at 0.8%. Looking at first quarter year-over-year results by portfolio segment, we see similar patterns to the quarterly increases. Member business loans had the strongest growth (at 19.8%), followed by new automobile (16.4%), and used automobile loans (12.7%). Home equity and 2nd mortgage loans grew most slowly, at 5.6%, though the growth rate was still above the national average of 4.4%. Without the first quarter seasonal effect, credit card loans grew by 7.3% and other unsecured loans were up 8.3%. Loan growth should remain at lofty levels during 2017 once again eclipsing double-digit increases seems likely. The expanding economy is apt to be broadly supportive of higher household consumption in autos, and furniture and appliances over the year. New auto loans, credit card loans, and purchase mortgage loans will remain strong growth areas. Technological enhancements in new vehicles will continue to generate healthy auto demand. Michigan credit union savings balances grew by a strong 4.9% (19.6% annualized) in the first quarter a result that was much stronger than the 1.8% fourth-quarter increase. The largest increases in the first quarter were seen in share drafts, which gained 8.4%, followed closely by regular shares at 7.5%. IRA balances were unchanged. Year-over-year, savings balances grew by 9.3% overall the fastest increase since 2009, when Michigan credit union savings portfolios grew 12.2%. The strongest category was share drafts, which grew 15.5%, followed by regular shares at 10.5%. Money market shares also grew strongly at 8.2%. As noted above, tax refund deposits combined with the quarter ending on a payday helped to boost that number. According to the Federal Reserve, total retail money market fund balances increased 5.5% in the year ending March 2017 trailing the 8.4% increase in credit union savings balances during that period. But that disparity is likely to change in the near future. Credit union savings balances will grow more slowly during the remainder of the year as the Federal Reserve continues raising short-term interest rates and a portion of the funds parked in lower-yielding credit union deposits flow out into money market mutual funds. Given moderate economic growth and higher inflation, members will remain cautiously optimistic and seek higher returns outside of the depository arena. Risk Exposure Asset quality improved in the first quarter. Delinquency rates declined markedly (from 0.77% at year-end 2016 to 0.61% at the end of March 2017) and now sit at cyclical lows. The net chargeoff rate inched down from an annualized 0.52% in the fourth quarter of 2016 to 0.47% in the first quarter 2017 putting it just off the cyclical low of 0.42% in the second quarter of MI CU ASSET QUALITY (%) 1.46 2016.

Expect the delinquency ratio to nudge down 60+ Day Dollar Delinquency Net Chargeoffs CUNA ECONOMICS & STATISTICS 9 FIRST QUARTER 2017
modestly during the year a three to five basis point decline seems reasonable. For similar reasons, net chargeoffs may likewise also continue to decline though not dramatically. Michigan credit union borrower bankruptcies increased from 34.4 per credit union in 2015 to a total of 35.3 per credit union in 2016 and an annualized 47.9 in the first quarter of 2017. The bankruptcy rate accelerated from 1.7 per thousand members in 2016 to 2.3 per thousand in the first quarter of 2017. Although in previous Profile reports we cautioned that serial filings may have a bit of a drag on any improvements going forward because the waiting period for repeat filings is expiring for many who declared bankruptcy during the economic downturn. However, the first quarter jump in the bankruptcy rate was most likely due to seasonal factors. Historically, the first quarter reflects the largest volume of filings each year accounting for roughly 30% of annual filings on average in the past. Each of the other three quarters account for about 23% of total filings, on average, in the past. With this in mind, it seems reasonable to expect the bankruptcy rate to decline a bit during the second quarter. With market interest rates resuming their upward MI CU BANKRUPTCY PROFILE march, interest rate risk exposure has received renewed attention. The aggregate net long-term asset ratio at Michigan credit unions started the year at 36.9%, but increased to 37.6% by the end of the first quarter. The current reading is roughly four percentage points higher than the national average reading, but remains about four percentage points lower than the state average ratio reported at the end of 2013. While some credit unions will undoubtedly be more likely to feel the pinch of rising interest rates, in the aggregate, Michigan credit unions appear well positioned to withstand the increases. The fact that savings growth outpaced loan growth by a wide margin meant that the aggregate Michigan credit union loan-to-savings ratio declined marginally from 74.3% to 71.8% in the three months ending March. Credit unions in the state reflect ample liquidity to deal with expected flows into money market mutual funds, which typically occur as market interest rates drift up. As expected, relatively strong savings growth led to an increase in Michigan credit union liquidity during the first quarter. The state s credit union loan-to-savings ratio declined from 74.6% at the start of the threemonth period to 72.1% by the end of March. Even so, the current ratio remains nearly ten percentage points above the 2012 cyclical low. As described earlier, liquidity should tighten going forward as lending heats up and savings increases moderate. 3.0 2011 64.9 2011 63.7 2012 2.5 2012 65.9 2.1 2013 Per CU MI CU LOAN-TO-SAVINGS RATIO (%) 2013 2014 2015 2016 Per 1,000 members 70.0 2014 1.8 1.8 1.7 43.5 36.9 33.4 32.0 34.4 35.3 47.9 72.4 2015 74.6 2016 Mar 17 72.1 2.3 Mar 17 CUNA ECONOMICS & STATISTICS 10 FIRST QUARTER 2017
Earnings Loan growth continues to help boost earnings results in the state. Michigan credit unions reported annualized ROA (net income as a percentage of average assets) totaling 0.83% in the first quarter. That was well above the 0.66% result in the fourth quarter and marginally higher than the 0.80% posted in the first quarter of 2016. Michigan credit union earnings averaged 0.60% over the past decade. As seen in the table below, compared to full-year 2016 results, the first quarter reflected a big decline in noninterest income. This was almost completely offset by the combination of lower operating expense ratios and lower funding costs. In the end, Michigan credit union annualized ROA (net income as a percentage of average assets) came in at 0.83% in the first quarter, nearly matching the 0.84% full-year 2016 result. Still, earnings in the state were twelve basis points higher than the U.S. credit union average in the period. Despite the recent FOMC move, credit union return on assets should hold relatively steady in 2017. Interest yields will once again be helped by strong loan growth this year and by the upward shift of the yield curve. That should help offset upward pressure on funding costs and on operating expenses (arising mostly from a tight labor market).

SPECIAL FOCUS The Credit Union Tax Status The U.S. Congress is now contemplating comprehensive reform to the nation s tax code. Those who care deeply about credit unions should thus be on guard: The nation s only not-for-profit financial institutions may find their current tax status under review in the not-toodistant future. Credit unions have been exempt from Federal income taxation since the earliest days of the tax code nearly 100 years. Maintaining that tax status is critically important. Imposing new taxes would threaten the survival of the nation s 6,100 credit unions and would result in the loss of the broad benefits these institutions provide both to their members and to society at large. Taxation would significantly erode the financial wellbeing of millions of middle-class credit union members. Any new tax on credit unions represents a tax increase on the nation s 109 million credit union members who collectively paid an estimated $1.4 trillion in state and federal income taxes in 2016. Michigan s 5.1 million credit union members paid an estimated $67.4 billion in taxes during the year. In today s volatile financial services marketplace, credit unions continue to provide a steady, reliable, community-based alternative for ordinary middle-class Americans. Maintaining their current tax status will allow credit unions to continue to fulfill that role. Credit Unions are Different than Investor-Owned Financial Institutions Credit unions are member-owned, democratically governed, not-for-profit cooperative financial institutions with no stockholders demanding market rate return on their investment. Earnings are passed along to member owners rather than outside investors. Executives are fairly (not lavishly) compensated, and directors are generally volunteers. The mission of credit unions is to promote thrift and provide access to credit for provident purposes to their members, especially those of modest means. Despite consolidation, credit unions remain relatively small, locally controlled institutions. The typical U.S. credit union reports $29 million in assets compared to CREDIT UNIONS: SMALL, LOCALLY CONTROLLED & NOT-FOR-PROFIT Median Asset Size-Millions of Dollars $239 Michigan Banks Source: FDIC, NCUA and CUNA $204 million at the typical bank. In Michigan, the typical bank has $239 million in assets and is 3.4 times larger than the typical credit union. The Public Benefits of the Credit Union Tax Exemption Far Outweigh the Costs The Joint Committee on Taxation s most recent estimate of the credit union tax expenditure is $2.6 billion in 2016. And CUNA estimates that Michigan credit unions would have paid $135 million if subject to income taxes in the year. However, the benefits that credit unions provide to members and others far exceed those totals. Credit unions provide financial benefits directly to members in the form of lower fees, lower loan rates, and higher deposit yields than other financial institutions. And they provide indirect benefits to non-members due to their moderating influence on bank pricing. The mere fact that credit unions exist in the marketplace compels for-profit banks to price in more consumer-friendly ways. In total, credit unions delivered approximately $14.0 billion in direct and indirect financial benefits in 2016 - $10.2 billion in direct benefits to members and $3.8 billion in indirect benefits. CUNA estimates Michigan s credit unions delivered $374 million in direct benefits to members in 2016 and a total of $150 million indirectly, to bank customers. This leveraging effect of the credit union tax status $71 Michigan CUs CUNA ECONOMICS & STATISTICS 12 FIRST QUARTER 2017
Special Focus (continued) makes it clear that the credit union tax expenditure is one of the best investments that the government makes in its citizens. MICHIGAN CREDIT UNION FINANCIAL BENEFITS: $523 MILLION IN 2016 Year Ending December 2016-in Millions $241 $70 Higher Savings Yields to Members Source: CUNA Lower Interest Rates on Loans to Members $150 Credit Unions Foster Responsible Business Practices The absence of pressure from stockholders to maximize short-term profits leads credit union managers to eschew high-risk, higher return strategies, so credit unions maintain a lower-risk profile. That s reflected in the fact that over the economic cycle, average credit unions loan losses are much lower than those in the forprofit banking sector. Policy makers recognize this difference in behavior and have repeatedly noted the conspicuous absence of credit unions on the list of institutions that contributed to the recent financial crisis. Consumers, likewise, realize that credit unions did not saddle members with toxic mortgages during the formation of the real estate bubble and that they remained in the game, continuing to lend during the Great Recession. It s no surprise that in its most recent survey, the Chicago Booth/Kellogg School Financial Trust Index, reports that 60% of respondents said they find credit unions trustworthy, while only 30% of respondents said they trust big, national banks. Moreover, for nearly a quarter of a century, American $63 Fewer & Lower Fees to Members Total Nonmember Benefits Banker published an annual survey which consistently rated credit unions above banks in terms of customer service. As a consequence, banks have increasingly sought to emulate credit unions customer service practices. And the American Banker discontinued its survey. Credit Unions Fuel Economic Development and Strengthen the Middle Class Nearly half of credit union members who rely primarily on their credit union have annual incomes between $25,000 and $75,000. Moreover, at year-end 2016 a total of 2,500 credit unions (i.e., 42% of all credit unions) were low-income-designated institutions (with a majority of membership reflecting family income of 80% or less than the median family income in the area where the credit union operates). As noted above, due to their lower risk profile, credit unions continued to lend to these average working class Americans during the recent financial crisis even as other financial institutions failed or had to curtail operations due to damaged balance sheets caused by less risk averse practices leading up to the crisis. A recent Small Business Administration study found, that credit unions are increasingly important sources of small business loans as a longer-run development and in response to fluctuations in small business loans at banks. And as the secondary market for residential mortgages collapsed, the amount of mortgages originated by credit unions actually rose by 11% in 2007 and 18% in 2008. In the nine years since the beginning of the financial crisis, annual credit union mortgage originations have increased at a median annual rate of 26%, while the median change in the for-profit sector was a decline of 11%. In short, saddling credit unions with additional taxes would threaten the existence of these not-for-profit institutions, eliminating or significantly curtailing substantial societal benefits. In addition, imposing income taxes on credit unions wouldn t begin to address the massive challenges facing government finances: had not-for-profit credit unions paid taxes in 2016 the revenue would offset only 0.4% of the federal government s budget deficit in the year and would only fund the federal government for approximately five hours.
